Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the Milwaukee Bucks as a whole, have heard all of the noise as they have rampaged through the rest of the NBA this season.
The reigning MVP is an undeniable force on his way to the rim as he continues to grow into a more dominant player year over year. But Antetokounmpo’s long-gestating jumpshot gives one flaw for Bucks opponents to take advantage of the Greek forward’s shooting deficiencies, and to wall off the paint in an attempt to cut the head off the Bucks’ proverbial snake.
This is nothing new for Antetokounmpo, but what has been new to see is how the 25-year-old is going one step ahead and trying to find and develop the counters that are necessary to withstand the pressure that will come in the coming months from opposing defenses.
